Hello there,

I have lived on the upper upper west side since moving to NYC 3 years ago for nursing school. All of my friends have now moved away, I’m feeling lonesome up here and am ready for a change.

I am in my mid-thirties, single, and live alone. I’m considering Brooklyn but can’t really get a good handle on the neighborhoods and would love any tips.

I want somewhere I feel safe coming & going from and also somewhere that I feel community (I don’t want to feel isolated). I am progressive, vegetarian and love being close to a good drink, cup of coffee, meal, breakfast, pizza, bookstore, what have you…

Any thoughts on where to start my search for a rental that could make a great home?

Thanks! I appreciate the insight!
